not be mistaken. The sentiment In favor OF re-
form in this regard is so pronounced that even
the Democrats concede il. This is the only is
sue necessary to give the State and the Legis-

George Nichol, Anderson: Madison county
Republicans face the record of Democratic
majority against them, but be counted

in electing candidates and We never had the con-

the general issues they are now. l have not
canvassed the situation to candidates, but
personally am for Robertson for Governor, with
inclinations very strong for the best man to
